12:07 pm
generation farmer he's been the rep for the last two years now he's afraid of losing china as the market dropped despite the fact that he soybeans are doing just fine. current prices that we are receiving are in you're from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's cause enough for her real concern whether we're going to be able to get those prices back in the near future and we're we're definitely worried about were the interim is going to come to the fore nevertheless keith miller still supports. his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes that trump can strike a deal with china and most of all hopes that this will happen soon.
12:08 pm
in the u.s. and president donald trump has accused his former lawyer michael cohen of lying under pressure from prosecutors investigating campaign finance violations the white house is grappling with allegations the president orchestrated an illegal cover up to buy the silence of two women who claimed he had friends with them as a result the president is confronting mounting legal and political threats. in his guilty plea michael cohen admitted to violating campaign finance laws during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election he said he was instructed by a candidate it understood to be tunneled trump to make payments to two women to finance their allegations they had extramarital affairs with trump in an interview on fox news trump tonight breaking the law. they came for me and. i don't know. about that. but they didn't come out of campaign my first question when i heard about it was
12:09 pm
come out of the campaign because that could be a little bit. and the white house is clear. as the president said we've stated many times he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in the us he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him congress which will do as much authority is the executive branch at least on paper may see things differently impeachment becomes a possibility when there's evidence of what the us constitution calls high crimes and misdemeanors but no make is a treading carefully. and i just don't think that engaging in speculation is the way to go and certainly i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now i don't think i've witnessed anything like what in this over the last year and. probably the american people haven't in modern times if there weren't people in rb a juror so you wouldn't expect peter. to make
12:10 pm
it be sitting on impeachment and do you hear what the house of representatives very do that's because it's the house the votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate republicans control both houses of congress that might be of some comfort to trump but by no means office total security here. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the democratic national committee in the us is an attempted hack into its voter database has been thwarted this comes just two years after russian operatives hacked into democratic party computers during the presidential election facilitating the release of tens of thousands of emails it's not known who was behind this latest hacking attempt. how after reading the children who crossed into bangladesh without parents often by violence in myanmar it was previously thought
12:11 pm

12:12 pm
minimize the potential impact britain's exit from the block as you take place in march next year. let me draw an correspond kitty logan from london kitty one does the british government hope to achieve by publishing this no deal advice. well forensic medicine is speaking now and this is essentially a message of reassurance if you like to the public to industry and finance that should britain exit the e.u. without a deal that there will be possibility even the u.k. to still train to he insists in his speech that britain must all go from strength to strength if there is no deal but and this is a bit he says that is an extremely unlikely so he's very much trying to calm nerves thing that britain is letting to end up with a deal with the e.u. but should that not happen that it's not the end of the world that there will be trading possibilities for the u.k. and how great is the concern in britain that the u.k. will leave the european union without finalizing a settlement there is
12:13 pm
a long list actually of people in it organizations and industries that are concerned sharing intelligence and information about certain crime cases farmers are worried that we're hearing today from the opposition labor party that they are extremely opposed to no deal they say that labor will vote against that rules here in the liberal democratic party that they believe that it will be disastrous for britain so certainly there's a lot of nervousness about no deal and also some poison saying if there isn't a deal less should be a second referendum so the public can decide right but meanwhile brigadiers have been very critical of prime minister tourism is and they go seeding strategy with the e.u. how do you think they're going to react to this kind of advice or it sounds like a plan b. kind of advice. that's right well nobody's happy at a price that not least a break that it's all perfectly content to go out european without you can you know
12:14 pm
without it they say that britain can trade freely there are. even the doors open as if they don't believe it's going to be disastrous for the country don't you believe that's what made the written more independent they are not satisfied with the way that negotiations are going they want and they say let's just leave the e.u. trade deal on their trade deal that we don't get a deal and britain will be absolutely fine that the line of equity is a taking it on the other side of things there's a lot of nervousness. kitty logan in london thank you very much australia is embroiled in a leadership crisis that could topple prime minister malcolm turnbull a new prime minister would be australia's sixth in less than a decade turnbull has survived one leadership voter within his ruling liberal party this week and is now facing a second one on friday he described the challenge against him as an internal insurgency to move his conservative party to the far right. the reality is that i minority in the party room. supported
